tons in q manner that made every person
within hearing Of the great organ eager
to catch its softest nots.

and royal procession was forming In tho
marquee outside the west door, the state
trumpeters in gold and crimson uniforms,
executed fanfares from the organ loft,
nearly in the center of the e1ifica; when
the clergy at the head of the royal pro-
cession moved into the church the ma
tional anths N was rendered by the organ.
The music was thrilling. The audiencs
rose as a unit and lent their ten thousand
voices to accompany the choir. The effect
was so grand, so profound, that
many persons were moved to tears,
1t was at this moment that the Queen APP
peared within the doors. Then the sing
ing f the anthem ceased, and the process
sional march from HaEdeps Occasional
Oratorio," was gwen by the organ during
the progress OF the Queen and Ethe royal
family to the dais. When they were seat
ed the Archbishop of Canterbury and the
Dean of Westminster, who had taken
their places within the sacrarium, began
the service by asking OF God q blessing
upon the Queen.
The 'iTe Deum Laudamus'' was then
sung by the choir to the music composed
by the Prince Consort, the Queen having
requested this. The Lords Prayer was
said, and the responses (adapted to the
occasion) were lntoned- Then three special
prayers were offered. Following the
prayers, the "Exaudiat te Dominus was
sung, with organ and brass band accom-

The Dean of Westminis GER advanced to
the altar rails and read the lesson for tho

was introduced. Two moro special
prayers for the defense CT the faith, the
spiritual welfare of the kingdom, and for
peace and love, followed, and were sup
plemented by the benediction which was
pronounced by the Archbishop.
When the benediction had been said,
the Queens sons knelt before her and
kissed her hand. They arose and Her
Majesty kissed each upon his cheek. The
princesses next advanced t. the Queen
and kissed her hand and she kisse1 them
all, fAvoring some twice, making unusual
demonstrations over the Princess OF
Wales and Princess Beatrice. Other rel
atives of the Queen then saluted her, and
she shook hands with some and kissed
others, ks sing the Crown Prince Freder-
icl1 William of Germany twice, very
heartily each time. At all this the con-
gregation applauded warmly. All the
princesses upon the dGis wore hight
dresses.
After the royal salutations had all been
made, the Queen descended the dais and
moved out of the Abbey, preceded by the
royal family, the congregation standing
and cheering with fervor all the while,
Mendelssohn's march from 'Athalie" be-
ing rendered by the organ and band until
Her Majesty had departed.
The congregation at once dissolved,
selections of sacred music being played
until all had left the Abbey.
